Under Economy / Waste Management text there is an "of" missing in the text, "Around 52% its waste is used for energy production (that is burnt) and 47% recycled.". Should be "Around 52% _of_ its waste is used for energy production (that is burnt) and 47% recycled." FlamingDrake (talk) 09:47, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

38C heat record - citation needed[edit]

Here is your source, should you want it: https://www.smhi.se/kunskapsbanken/meteorologi/svenska-temperaturrekord/svenska-temperaturrekord-1.5792 176.10.146.95 (talk) 22:32, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Population in intro[edit]

I suggest we make note of the fact that Sweden has the largest population out of all the Nordic countries within the intro. Whoever can do it if this proposal acceptable, please do.JamesCook1728 (talk) 22:15, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2.3 muslim percentage is clearly wrong - Correction[edit]

Can someone explain why this is on the front page? It is obviously completely false information. FlyRaySmith (talk) 05:42, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sources seem to support numbers in the 2–3% range - what do you believe to be the correct information and based on what sources? Nikkimaria (talk) 05:05, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is a whole section above, The percentage of Muslims in Sweden is much higher than "2.3%". Please read that, especially my comment on the different statistics and the definition of Muslim. Sjö (talk) 06:13, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I see. In that case it might be better to remove the stats from the lead and discuss the definitional issues in the text. Nikkimaria (talk) 12:45, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The current sentence: "Sweden is a highly developed country ranked seventh in the Human Development Index.[12]" is incorrect and the cite is broken. The wikipedia link to the HUI says Sweden is ranked 5th.

Change "Sweden is a highly developed country ranked seventh in the Human Development Index.[12]" to "Sweden is a highly developed country ranked fifth in the Human Development Index.[XX]" Gatomon (talk) 23:07, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
